This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit - This transaction appears to have taken place immediately after Christ’s baptism; and this bringing up of Christ was through the influence of the Spirit of God; that Spirit which had rested upon him in his baptism.
To be tempted - The first act of the ministry of Jesus Christ was a combat with Satan. Does not this receive light from Gen 3:17. I will put enmity between the woman’s seed and thy seed: it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
